Court up early, about 6:15, she went for a jog and a swim. I got up about 7:15. We went for breakfast, then to Turtle bay Divers about 8:30, got briefed and kitted up, took the boat to T3 (Terumbu Tiga), a collection of rocks jumbled on top of each other in the ocean, some of them breaking the surface.
WOW! Awesome dive. Better than yesterdays!!! We did some swim thru's at this site (short underwater tunnels), and of course, saw lots and lots of aquatic life. This dive was amazing. We loved it.
We got back to shore about 11:15, did our log books, and decided to do another dive this afternoon, so we had lunch, then went back to Turtle Bay Divers about 12:30 for an afternoon dive to Tansung Basi, a short boat trip across the small straight to a point on the big island. Visibility not as good, but still had a good dive, saw a huge queenfish, more than a metre long. 6-8m of visibility here. Finished dive, back to the shop, filled out our log books, and paid for our dives. Our bill was 180 ringet, about $75CDN, which is about $25/dive, for those mathematically challenged. Cheap, cheap, cheap! It's about $40CDN a dive on Koh Tao.
Back to the hut, we packed and decided what to do. We can't spend 3 weeks in Malaysia (well, we could but there's not THAT much to see), so we talked about going back to Thailand for a while (perhaps hitting another full-moon party), but the west coast of Thailand, where we wanted to go, is not good, rainy season right now, so we decided to finish off a few parts of Malaysia and try to move our flight to Australia closer, perhaps around June 5.
We confirmed our boat trip back to the mainland for tomorrow morning, got everything packed and went for supper in our restaurant, did some more crossword puzzles, then watched a really bizarre movie called "Leon The Professional", a strange story about a 12-year old girl, her family gets shot up by a drug mob (she was out buying groceries, so didn't get wiped herself), and she falls in love with a hitman (Gary Oldman) who lives down the hall in their apartment building. In exchange for teaching her how to be "a cleaner", she does all his household work, and they become friends, and she's in love with him. Anyway, it ends up, he gets blown to bits, she goes to a foster house and, presumably lives happily ever after, forgetting about her assassin training.
So tomorrow we'll head to the CAmeron Highlands, spend however long there, then down to KL and fly to Australia. Maybe Melaka, dunno.
